Thanks to Yi Xun.com 's public testing activities, I had the opportunity to contact the DELL U2717D monitor. The Internet is different for this monitor. I was equally curious whether I would like to buy DELL U2413 exactly two years ago. The monitor is also in the unit. Why wouldn't their two brothers come to the PK ? Who is stronger? Who is the trump card?
package
For U 2717D packaging, I only recognize half. First of all, as a DELL that has always been environmentally friendly , the U 2717D is packaged in a colored spray box, which is not only unfavorable to the environment, but also increases the cost of the box. Second, the U 2717D 's packing box appears to be somewhat thin compared to the U2413 packing case. Once a positive collision occurs during transportation, a shorter buffer distance will cause the screen to suffer increased impact probability. Personally think that the main role of the box is to protect the packaged items safely to the destination, of course, can achieve environmental protection is better, but fortunately U 2717D still adhere to cardboard packaging, DELL still retains environmental awareness.
Exterior
U2717D base design and U2413 have no small changes, regardless of work or material are improved a lot, using a detachable base design, reducing the volume of transport packaging, and then the design is more fine, the base is used Plastic silver matte matte material, compared to the U2413 's black particles in the touch feel better, and the base is a closed design, will no longer see the inside of the fixed plate . DELL's consistent use of high and low lifting and rotating brackets are also retained on the U 2717D . The damping effect of the entire bracket is softer than that of the U2413 . The rotation of the bracket is more smooth than that of the U2413 without any noticeable scale. A sense of damping.
The first time I took out the U 2717D , I even wondered if it was a 27 -inch monitor and it was almost as big as the 24 -inch U2413 . Since the U 2717D uses a display with a fitting design similar to that of a mobile phone screen, there is a thin black border on the outside, and the panel is embedded in it, giving the impression of a thin frame, making the display frame very narrow, of course, this is only If you don't turn on the monitor, you will actually get into the picture and you will find that you're "wrong." In fact, there is still a narrow black border.
U2717D 's overall design not only retains DELL's consistent business style, but also a little more fashion. The entire bracket and the panel material are consistent, plastic matte matt silver, the overall design is more stylish, because the power consumption is much lower than the U2413 , so the back of the cooling hole is only a slender one, at room temperature of about 20 degrees, only touch up The body temperature is a bit high, this is only in the middle of the cooling hole, the other places are cool, which is also very consistent with its first-level energy consumption logo.
The U2717D is thin and more stylish than the U2413 . Compared to U2413's large area of ​​black color matching, U 2717D uses a large amount of matte silver color matching. When two monitors are put together, you will find that the U 2717D has a higher degree of recognition . The weight of the two on the basis of the official data is about 0.5KG or so, the more solid U2413 is more important, and individuals still quite like U2413 kind of heavy feeling.
As a high-end display, the interface is naturally not less, and some of them have, for example: HDMI , DP , MIN-DP...
display effectNote: Both monitors are tested with 35% brightness and 75% contrast . The following picture is left: DELL U2717D ; Right: DELL U2413
DELL does not point out what is the use U 2717D screen, some sites claiming U 2717D uses Samsung's PLS panel in the introduction, but then I read expert violent dismantling U 2717D article, I found that U 2717D uses LG the 8bit IPS screen.
In terms of color, whether it is paper data or actual feelings, U2413 is even more outstanding. The advantages of the wide color gamut panel are fully realized. Red is more beautiful, green is more green, and blue is more profound.
If it were not previously known U 2717D using the LG IPS screen, I really doubt it uses a Samsung PLS screen, color uniformity and light leakage performance than the house of Samsung S27E500C VA screen more outstanding. Subject to camera sensitivity, light and other effects, the actual scene of light leakage is not as serious in the photo. The light leakage performance of U 2717D can be said to be a victory over U2413 , especially in the lower right corner of U2413 . The light leakage is more serious because of the relation of U2413 power lamp.
Since I am not a professional player and I have limited equipment on my hands, I can only grab pictures from the real world and compare the display screens. U 2717D in terms of color accuracy better than U2413, U2413 although the factory has also been adjusted, perhaps because of the use of time, or because improve screen technology, U 2717D effect in reality the accuracy is higher than those U2413, of course, can be found U2413 benefits from the advantages of the wide color gamut panel, the color of the picture is very beautiful, although it is a bit fake, but the fake is very flattering. If U2413 can be compared, I believe the effect will be more realistic.
I like the U 2717D 's physical button design. Because it is an ultra-narrow frame, it uses the layout of the lower buttons, which makes the entire front of the monitor very neat. The four set buttons plus the power button feel very good, flexible feedback, especially It is a small hemispherical design of the power button, and it is very comfortable to touch. With the white power indicator, it is easy to find the power switch even in the dark.
The software setting of the monitor is very simple, even if it is used for the first time, it can be quickly set.
The resolution of the DELL U2717D reached 25601440 , which was followed by the Department of 2160P 's Mars Rescue. There is no doubt that the effect of the 720P version is much better than mine , of course, U 2717D also contributed, the overall image display is more delicate, accurate color, under the conditions of the black light leakage is very good, basically does not affect the quality of the movie.
In EXCEL , the U 2717D 's superiority in the progress of the ultra-high variation rate has been expanded. The display range is much larger than the U2413's high-resolution display range. The U 2717D 's pitch is also smaller than that of the U2413 , and the font looks even smaller. In fact, the standard size and resolution of the display has entered into a 24-inch 16: 9 1920 × 1080; 16:10 19201200,27-inch 16: 9 is 25,601,440, which is the resolution of the actual use of the most comfortable, family Since that Samsung S27E500C resolution of 1920 × 1080, actual use, text heavy grainy, a little fuzzy feeling.
Some U 2717D problems were also discovered during use . First of all, due to the large size of the panel, the height of the bracket is insufficient, resulting in the panel being blocked by the base when it is rotated 90 degrees vertically , resulting in an inability to rotate. The solution is also very simple, the panel can be rotated at a certain angle.
Second, the panel plastic work is a bit rough. In particular, under the DELL sign, above the plastic frame, it is obvious that there is a burr that exists, and it should be in another place. This is just under the DELL sign.
There is no perfect product in the world. The U 2717D has improved a lot compared to the old products, and it has improved a lot from design and workmanship. U 2717D compared to U2413 design, calm with a little fashion, like a gentleman wearing a suit and bow tie. U 2717D 's dot pitch is smaller than that of U2413 . It is a bit laborious for plain text users. Personally I think the 24 -inch resolution is more suitable for office use. The most important thing is how many bosses are willing to buy a 27 -inch monitor for office work. (Except the photo studio, it is for the customer to see)? Not only that, after the color U2413 in terms of color is that I believe it is possible to defeat the U 2717D , as an entry-level professional display is completely useless. For high-end home users, I think the U 2717D is more suitable, regardless of video, games, Internet access is very good, U 2717D is only slightly inferior to the U2413 in color , if now let me choose between U 2717D and U2413 , I will not Hesitated to choose U 2717D , because it is more suitable for me, excellent design, good color, high resolution, watching HD movies is really suitable.
PS : The evaluation of the monitor in the text is only for the evaluation product I received. I am in average level. If there are mistakes in the text, please bear with me.
Personal use DELL U2717D encountered problems and solutions
The first time I used my old laptop through the HDMI external U 2717D , found that the resolution can not reach 25601440 , and later found the cause and successfully solve the problem online. First of all, the HDMI cable must be version 1.3 and my line is version 1.4 . Then, set in the graphics properties of Intel integrated graphics, set the resolution to the standard resolution of the monitor, and reduce the refresh rate (this is also the useless thing, there must be something missing), my notebook only supports 40HZ Refresh rate, and finally add and save, then in the general settings you can find the original set resolution, select and determine.
When the notebook CPU is watching the 2160P movie for the Intel I3-2310M , it is very stuck. The CPU occupancy rate is 100% and cannot be viewed normally. The solution is to add the playback software in the video card settings and select the preferred graphics processor as the high-performance NVIDIA processor, and then set it as the hard solution in the playback software (when each player plays software inconsistent, the playback software is not described here) . Since then you can play 2160P movies smoothly .
